Seems like a good day to list my favorite films from last year. Of the ones I saw at least. Which is becoming less and less the further I make my way into fatherhood.

Really though, only films I'm kinda bummed I missed were (in order) Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Lincoln, and Perks of Being a Wallflower (which admittedly are all films that'll be just as good (or bad) in my living room anyhow). But at least I'm finally seeing Django Unchained this weekend! So anyhow, again, here are my faves of the ones I saw.

The Avengers

Cloud Atlas

Wreck-it Ralph

Moonrise Kingdom

Cabin in The Woods

The Hobbit

Skyfall

John Carter

Dark Knight Rises

Brave

ParaNorman (had to add it!)

For 2013 I'm most looking forward to Star Trek Into Darkness! I'm sure there's some other stuff coming out too but not as important.

When I took a quick look I was wondering if you'd checked out Django and then I kept reading. Hope you like it! I haven't met anyone who hasn't. I still need to check out Moonrise Kingdom and Brave for myself.

I don't know if you enjoy indy comedies at all, Mike, but I'm gonna give you some anyway, based on your placement of Moonrise Kingdom up there.

Safety Not Guaranteed is brilliant. As it escalates, you're not sure if they're gonna go there, but they do. Oh, they go there! ...Also, Your Sister's Sister and Friends With Kids are really smartly written. Ruby Sparks is funny, thought provoking, and mildly disturbing (it would have been a very different film if it were written by a dude), and The Giant Mechanical Man will appeal to any artist out there.

I have to say for 2013 I'm most looking forward to Edgar Wright's new comedy, The World's End.

(Paranorman was amazing! For me, I almost felt like I was a kid again in the 80s.)

Ah ok. I get taht. And yeah I thought that part of it was really heart wrenching, and really drew an emotional response from me. Part of why I liked it, along with the other great stuff about it. But to each their own! Haha, and yeah I was disappointed by Hunger Games too. I think the overly shaky shaky-cam really annoyed me along with some of the creative choices they made. Like the appearance of the mutts at the end. And what was wrong with Prometheus? I think I'm one of the few people who liked it. Haha, but I've also never seen Alien/Aliens before

Those were my favorites too. Besides John Carter and Moonrise Kingdom. I'd add Spiderman though. Django Unchained was extremely good! Leonardo DiCaprio was just... perfect in it. I hope you like it too
